A Chinese Muslim Thought on Microcosm/Universe : in the Case of Liu Zhi's Tianfang Xingli Written in the Early Qing Dynasty.

众所周知，明末清初，中国穆斯林突然开始以汉文书籍的形式表达自己，其中最引人注目的是刘智的《天方兴礼》。它的独特之处在于，我们不仅可以看到中国思想和伊斯兰思想的成分，而且还可以看到通过耶稣会士的努力流入当代中国的新自然科学的痕迹，这使得离开科学史应该介入的文化背景很难理解这部作品的核心。本研究以《天范行礼》第三、五卷为中心，试图提炼出刘智不同于中国传统和伊斯兰传统的、很可能是在对人体的一些新发现基础上产生的原始思想世界，并对他的思想世界的某些背景进行一定程度的梳理和考察。

It is well known that during the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty Chinese Muslims abruptly started to express themselves in the form of books written in Chinese, the most conspicuous of which was Tianfang Xingli authored by Liu Zhi. Its idiosyncrasy consists in the fact that we can find not only elements of Chinese thought and Islamic thought but vestiges of new natural sciences flowing into contemporary China through the efforts of Jesuits, which make it difficult to understand the kernel of the work without cultural contexts history of science should meddle in. Focusing the books III and V of Tianfan Xingli, this research program tried to extract Liu Zhi's original thought world differing from those of Chinese and Islamic thought traditions, which was produced, in all likelihood, on the basis of some new findings concerns the human bodies, and to pick up some kinds of backdrops of his thought world and examine them in some degree.
